Laying the Future of Barracks Construction

Multiple construction-scale 3D-printers operate simultaneously at Fort Bliss in West Texas. In total, 10 barracks will be constructed over a six-month period. Each barracks will house up to 56 soldiers deployed to the base. The $62.8 million contract for the new buildings was awarded to ICON. Under the Army’s traditional process of building barracks, it could take years to plan, fund, design, and construct new barracks according to 1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss Commander Maj. Gen. Curtis Taylor.
